Andrea and Matt's Couples Shower

Aunt Andrea and Uncle Matt will be getting married on August 30th. We had a party for them last weekend. It was a lot of fun and they got a lot of nice presents. Here are some pictures from the party.

At the Park:

Riding the Sea Horse.

Time with Gammy and Grandpa Pedro:

Mommy, Daddy and I went over to Gammy and Grandpa Pedro's house for a belated birthday dinner for Mommy and anniversary dinner for Mommy and Daddy. We had a delicious meal and afterwards went to look at some new duck families in the lake. There was one mama duck that had 9 ducklings and we saw at least 4 or 5 more nests!! We had such a nice time.

Some hang out time with Tabby the dog.

Stylish Times:

My new hat from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Gretch. I wore it to watch Mommy and Daddy play tennis.

I also was able to get a picture with Uncle Jeff in his "matching" hat. He said he wanted to be my twin! :)

Reds vs Red Sox:

Mom and Dad went to the Reds vs Red Sox game with Grandpa, Aunt Gretch, Uncle Jeff, and Uncle Dave while I hung out with Grandma. It was a great game although the Reds ended up losing 6-4 in the 10th inning. One of Daddy's friends from high school plays for the Red Sox and he hit a home run in the 10th to score the winning run. So it was pretty exciting for him any way.

My Last Day with Maddie:

Sharing a plate of Honey Dew Melon and watching "The Backyardigans".
Playing outside with Maddie's cool beach ball sprinkler.

Playing on the deck with the water table.

Rainbow:

A beautiful rainbow that was in the sky when we woke up on Saturday morning. It was a full rainbow that was way too big to capture in just one picture! What a beautiful way to greet the day!

A Trip to a Dairy Farm with Friends:

We got the opportunity to go to a friend's dairy farm in Kentucky and hang out with some friends (and meet some new ones!!).

Meeting a calf that was born that morning. She was very calm, I thought it was a funny looking dog, but Dad told me that it was a baby cow.

After a closer look, I realized that he was right. The cows liked to "moooo".

This calf was looking for some milk to drink, she thought she could get it from my arm. Her tongue was long and black and was really rough, and she had lots of slimy spit!

Mom, Dad, and I won a race leading the cow. Afterwards, I took a victory lap riding on the cow!!

Daddy milking a cow. Afterwards we went and looked at where they milk the cows with machines and I got to try some farm fresh milk...it was delicious!!!

Daddy shooting a "22 LR" at some old laundry detergent bottles. Dad hit 5 out of 6 rounds. He is a good shooter.

Mommy only hit 1 out of 6...she has some work to do!
